47 PRO INSTALLER JUNE 2015 PRO PRODUCTS @proinstaller1 Timeless Glass Saint-Gobain Glass has launched SGG TIMELESS, a highly advanced glass for shower panels and bath screens with longer lasting clarity and easy cleaning. Hand Protection for any Industry The new Showa TEMRES 281 glove, by Globus, a world leader in protecting hands, has been chosen by The Tile Association (TTA) as a finalist for the ‘Best Innovation’ category within their prestigious annual awards. TEMRES 281 is the world’s first waterproof and breathable polyurethane protective glove. It is ideal for the tiling sector as hands are protected against water ingress by an impervious barrier, while moisture and water is allowed to disperse to the outside simultaneously. As a result, the hand is allowed to breathe, any accumulation of perspiration and bacteria inside the glove is negated and a more comfortable wearing experience results for the user. Keeping hands comfortable while wearing gloves is a problem experienced by workers across many industries, after all it’s only natural that hands will sweat when they are covered for long periods. This often means gloves are discarded leaving the worker unprotected. By retaining comfort the glove is likely to be left on to protect the worker. The technology within the glove which allows comfort and protection over long periods is an advanced composite nylon and polyurethane liner, with an inner foam membrane and micro-ventilated polyurethane coating. This provides a comfortable and breathable layer of protection while, at the same time, providing a barrier to prevent liquids entering the glove. Those who wear the Showa TEMRES 281 glove can work effectively as handling precision and good grip performance can be achieved. The glove is durable and can be washed offering users both value-for-money and longevity. The Showa TEMRES 281 glove can also be used for protection and good grip in other wet handling tasks. Steve Shale, Marketing Manager of Globus commented: “We know that the Showa TEMRES 281 glove is a fantastic work aid for those working across many industries. However, it’s great to achieve recognition for innovation from a recognised trade association to strengthen the glove’s credibility.” SGG TIMELESS not only offers high performance and superb neutral transparency but its specially developed micro-coating means water slips off its surface, repelling limescale and keeping the shine, as well as drastically cutting cleaning time SGG TIMELESS prevents the build-up of limescale and other residual marks. Cleaning becomes quick and easy too. Shower glass is protected against corrosion and limescale, keeping it looking as clear, bright and haze-free as new. SGG TIMELESS is produced by magnetron-coating metal oxides to one surface of the glass, using a process developed by SAINTGOBAIN GLASS. It can be used in all types of industrial processing, including toughening, lamination, curving and s
